Chapter 7: Cold
Yoh hated cold. Heat was tolerable. But cold stole your heat and left you shivering. He was very displeased with the showers that night. He turned the knob and jumped under the spray expecting a nice, warm cascade of water. He was instead greeted by an ice-cold flurry of water. "SHIT, MY FREEZER'S WARMER THAN THIS!!" exclaimed Yoh as he jumped out of the cold spray. The water got into his wound and made it hurt worse. "Whoever wrote the hokey-pokey must have been taking a cold shower." said Yoh. "What do you mean by that?" asked Tai. "Quite simple really. To at least keep from freezing, put your right hand in, put your right hand out, put your right hand in and shake it all about. You put it in to get it wet, and pull it out because the water's cold. Put it back in to get acclimated to the water, and shake it to keep warm." "Oh, I get it."
After that, Yoh just couldn't sleep. He ventured out to the table to play cards. "Uh, go fish?" suggested Tai (or Naruto, as Yoh had taken to calling him*) "What the hell? We aren't even playing go fish. Where the fuck did you get that from? Mistaking go fish for blackjack like that..." said Anna. Anna was a little irritated. Almost every boy at camp had made at least some pitiful attempt to ask Anna out on a date. Yoh pitied them. The ones who asked in the late afternoon had their face greeted by the palm of her hand. "Uh, royal flush?" asked Tai. "No, baka, you bust. Royal flush is from poker." "Let's play that then." said Tai. "I give up. I'm going to bed." replied Anna. "Poker then?" asked Tai. "Sure."

"You're awake." Horo Horo woke up to find Hao standing by his bunk. "What the fuck are you doing here? If you want to rape me, that's just-" "I'M NOT GOING TO RAPE YOU!!! baka." "Oh, good. Good night." "I am not finished with you. God, how does Ren deal with you?" "I dunno.." "Anyway, you're going to do what Ren failed at doing. Get Kenshin while you're at it." "Now do you want this for here or to go?" added Horo Horo. "DON'T GET SMART WITH ME!! YOU ARE TO GO AND STEAL AMIDAMARU AND KENSHIN!!! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR??" "I don't wanna..." "Fine. I'll make you." Hao possesed Horo Horo. Horo Horo was now Hao's puppet. [stop: hit the floor]

"Well, I give you an A for effort, Tai." Tai lost every single rule. He even tried to play hearts using the rules for solitaire. "Maybe cards isn't for you" said Manta. "Well, good night Yoh." "Good night. Naruto" said Yoh. "G'night." said Manta. Yoh climbed into bed next to Anna. Anna sensing his warm prescence, she moved her head onto his good(right) shoulder. "I see, you don't need a pillow as long as I'm here. I'm okay with that." thought Yoh.
Anna woke up in the middle of the night. She had a particularly bad dream. Sensing Yoh's presence next to her, she calmed down. "Everything's fine if he's here. It's easy to fall asleep next to him, even in cold weather like this. [stop: times like these] What the fuck? Snow in June?" said Anna as she looked out the window. "Snow? Yoh, wake up! Something's just not right...."
How's the chapter's ending? Suspense? Stupid? Obvious?
How is the idea behind music cues?
Bear with me, this fic does have an ending, eventually. After this, it's my next big project, an AU-ish fic called "Battle of the Bands"
